What a sporting week this has been for our nation. The national football team are more than likely not going to qualify for Euro 2008 championships after strugging against "footballng superpower" Russia. The Rugby Union team struggle to overturn the Springboks and Lewis Hamilton's chance of capturing the F1 crown in his first season slips away from him at the final race in Brazil. If you give a shit then you're probably down in the dumps and could do with cheering up. You could do worse than check out Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job for a quick laugh. First brought to my attention by a Peter Serafainwicz interview for the Guardian in which he claims it to be "the funniest US comedy for years". Not sure about that but it does have it's moments of brilliance particularly Dr Steve Brule. You can catch it on Adult Swim here in the UK (late night on Bravo) or in the States (late night Cartoon Network). For those who cant be arsed to sit up and wait for this or dont have Sky, cable, etc, here's the first episode.

Enjoy !

Ahhh, Scarborough. Holiday destination of my youth. Nowadays a Max Power drag strip shouldered by failing arcades and dodgy fish and chips but still manages to attract the entire population of Yorkshire on a bank holiday. Famous for featuring in the film Little Voice, being the place where Anne Bronte died, having a castle that I've never been to and erm..erm..Peasholme Park where geeky model making fanatics re-enact the Battle of the River Plate throughout the summer. Now we can extend this exhaustive list even further as everyone's favourite Chav rapper Devvo has filmed the video for his reggae tinged classic, Boys on the Beach, in Scarborough's South Bay.

All together now ! "Wing Commander, get me a Stella...."

That is not it.

...I'm going to be a boring sod. Friday night rolls round and I am completely alcohol free. It's not like I'm on call either it's just that the thought of attempting today's painting of the bedroom with a cloudy head means I avoid juice. So the two bottles of wine which are set aside for my consumption will have to wait. Painting and decorating means you have to have the windows open, either that or trip out, and with the open windows comes the annoyance of flies. Why cant flies "get" windows? They learn pretty sharpish how to scoff shit. You'd have thought they'd have grasped the concept of transparent materials by now.

Nice to see United at the top of the league for the first time this month and also nice to see that they have finally got round to scoring more than one goal in this afternoon's 4-0 win over Wigan. To be honest I don't care if they score one, four or 15 as long as the other side scores less.

Well, I can't spend all day clogging the interweb pipes up with my ramblings for an audience of five. I've got painting to do so I can get pissed.
